I can confirm that the funtion works fine using php 4.3.0. on Mac OS X.
While this may not be of any help, I will test on a later install on
a test server.
Thanks,

Something to the effect of

if ( $num 90 $num 125 ) {

not tested in code, but logically, this should work

I am wanting to use rand() to
the min and max would work if I wanted the number between 33 and 146, but I
am wanting to specify two ranges, not just one.

Just do the obvious:
$rand = rand(33,111);
$num = ($rand90) ? $rand+35 : $rand;

Use two rand()'s.
$foo = rand(2);
if ($foo == 0)
rand(first_set);
else
rand(second_set);

Not really a random number...
You need to seed the random number generator using srand(). Best to read the
online annotated manual

You need to seed the random number generator first.

this is a function that I wrote to solve this problem, but it is almost
impossible to get a truly random number you can get somthing pretty close by
seeding with somthing like the time function, using the seconds since epoch
and this should be hard to duplicate.

Hi April,
You need to plant seeds to reach this goal, it discusses this in manual
under rand() and mt_rand() so have a look here :

Which links to and talks about srand :

Thanks. It doesn't need to be completely random, just, more random than
20 matches
